Chuckles: Bowlers Form Their Own Country

The Tidy Bowlers were starting their own grocery store tonight as they cornered the Trashbag market. It was a very close scoring night, with three teams (Chillin' with My Gnomies, the Coochy Snorchers and Skirtland) only missing third place by one point. The T-birds and the Intoxicated Intellectuals were tied for third, but months of playing Crocodile Dentist with his kid paid off for Brad, as the IIs won the tie-breaker. The three-headed Ubersmack was second, seven points behind the surprisingly lucid Jay and Lorraine.

Chris Ivey will be our substitute host next week. Since there was a three-way tie for fifth, I decided to go easy on Chris and declare it to be a theme-free night. I'll be performing with the Spring Radio Theatre Comedy Troupe in Harrisburg that night (see above post). Please be kind to Chris.

The T-Birds were oh-so-close, but then captain jack bit Bill twice and they fell to fourth.

The Tidy Bowlers were happy to share their Marshmallow Mateys with the Coochy Snorchers. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Mezes want to officially protest the last round.

Damion at Annie Bailey's this Thursday

Singer songwriter and stawlart Earth trivia friend Damion Wolfe will be playing at Annie Bailey's this Thursday night (April 17th) from 8 to 11. Hope to see you there!

Here Comes the Rain Again

It's supposed to be rainy this weekend, so I'd like to get some rest, but our radio comedy troupe is gearing up and practicing for shows in Mount Joy, Gettysburg and Harrisburg. First up: Bube's Brewery (actually upstairs in Alois') next Friday April 18th at 8 P.M. If you like raunchy, Howard Stern-like humor, you're in for a treat! I'm the understudy for Al Gore, so I 'm going to rent An Inconvenient Truth. I'm cereal! (a reference for you South Park fans out there)

More details to come!

VFW: Food, Glorious Food!

This is the happiest Brooks and Dunn were all night, since it was taken right before the brain-crunching last round. For once, everyone enjoyed high scores on the picture round. Maybe because it was based on one of everybody's favorite topics, food. At the end of the competition, Chicks and Dicks with Steve (not Bill) claimed the top spot for the second week. The two man terror team of Jerky Pat and Kirk were only two points behind, since Kirk did not eat enough broccoli as a child. Pink Floyd's biggest fan, Room Two took third, while Shitz and We're Here for the Beer tied for fourth. Sixth went to the imploding Zombies, while Young Bucks with special guest Airman E-1 Matt Miller, on leave from Afghanistan, got the theme-picking spot. They're going with Family Guy, so bring your talking dog with you next week.

John and Dee ditched Paul and Sheila for Michael and the mysterious Mr. X.

Thanks to Chris and Greg of Prius (AKA Outback) for providing me with one-liners all night.

Bube's: Faster Than Vermont Syrup in April

Marie returned from the wilds of Vermont to give Don't You Wish Your Nutsack Was Hot Like Me a much needed shot of estrogen. They also won the night's competition, capping off her triumphant visit. The Tony Danza Slap was only 2 points behind, followed by a tie between TDC and We Have No Half and Half, But We Have Duck Sauce and We're Out of Wings. Justin and Janelle, AKA Yankee Hotel Foxtrot were fifth and the Toxic Olives were sixth. You'll have to dig further in the blog to find who was seventh.

Tom is ticked off that Captain Jack wanted a beer after biting Seth's finger. Here's some Earth Trivia trivia: Team Discovery has never won a Captain Jack-off. Tonight their lack of Jack-off skills doomed them to fourth place.

Brad, Patty, Erin and Van made me say that I wouldn't say where they placed in the rankings, but they are the ones who are picking next week's theme: Dumb and Dumber.

Keri joined the hands of Sam to become Alpha Squad Seven (A Quinn Martin Production).

The Weird Sisters were sailing through until they crashed on the rocks of the Picture Round.

Double A and the Godfather were hoping for seventh, but had to settle for a decorative pig platter, which they promptly gave away to these two lasses.

Whatever Happened to the Trashbag Turtle?

Oh the humanity!

Name That Tuna!

I'd like to put in a good word for a music show that I've been enjoying lately. It's called Name That Tuna and I've been playing it the last few weeks at Prudhomme's Cajun Kitchen in Columbia with some friends and family. Hosted by Ponytail Bob, it's a simple concept, yet addictive and fun. Bob plays tunes and you have to name the artist and title. He plays almost the entire song, so even if you've never heard it, you can take a stab at the title.

This week Bob is adding a Wednesday night show (beginning at 8 P.M.) at the Villa Nova West on Columbia Avenue. You can find much more info on his website. I hope to get there after my Lititz VFW show, so maybe I'll see you there.

Santacat Says...

Only 261 days until Christmas!

Chuckles: Two by Two

It was couples night at Chuckles, with the two top spots going to two dynamic duos. Bill and Marge of Out of the Vortex recovered from a disastrous picture round to take first, followed by the Lethal Amoebas. The Price Is Right once again were third, followed by a tie between Skirtland and Ubersmack, who had been hoping for five in a row. Jason and Nick had a fantastic last round, as We Can Win with Tickets tied with the Talent Scouts for sixth. That meant K Squared C Squared was in seventh and they're going with bridge (as in the card game, not the Tappan Zee). The Tidy Bowlers really enjoyed the Smartee beans, while Dawn and Trish could have used Sue's NASCAR knowledge. The Gnomies found that downsizing caused more arguing while the Bowmans headed for the hills.

Jay and Lorraine of the Lethal Amoebas got 8 out of 10 right in the last round, without the help of Extra Special Guest Star Alan.
